"Come away empty-handed" = đi về tay không -> nghĩa là trở về từ một trải nghiệm hay sự kiện nhưng không tích lũy được cái gì.

Ví dụ
In practice, this means that as soon as the gate is open, some sheep farmers will begin to move their sheep from their own pasture to the village meadows, where the animals can graze (ăn cỏ) in peace at zero cost for the shepherd. This represents real added value for the sheep, and also a solid competitive advantage for their owner, especially considering that at the same time his slowest or "most moral" competitors come away empty-handed.

Pulaski had another chance to score in the ninth when Farrell singled and Luis Santos doubled with one out. A failed squeeze bunt, with Farrell out at the plate, and a Mendez pop-up to shortstop caused the Yankees to come away empty-handed again.

After his first goal for Needham Market only proved good enough for a point, Callum Sturgess believes they deserved more from their opening two matches of their BetVictor Southern Premier Central season. The Marketmen head into tomorrow’s home encounter with (chạm chán với) Redditch United looking to turn their early season luck around with a positive result. In Saturday’s opener at Stratford Town, only a stoppage-time strike saw them come away empty handed in a 2-1 loss, after Joe Marsden’s penalty had made it 1-1 in the 89th minute.
